Panzer I A - 95% DONE!!!!

bcauchi wrote:Yay an update!  Listen Noel, just judging by the photos i have just some comments to make.
- The machine gun barrels are the same colour as the tank, i guess they should be gunmetal. If they are then it must be the photos and just ignore this comment.
-  The dead guy.  You painted him as if he was alive. A dead corpse changes colour and is not a healthy and lively looking pink, the docs at our club can vouch for this but i have seen some corpses in my life and they are definitely greyer.  The more time passes the greyer they look and the stiffness of this guy should indicate that a considerable amount of time has passed. The blood would also be less reddish and blacker, much darker when blood dries up it is very dark indeed.
- his knee is way too clean for the wound he has and the fact that his uniform is torn means that he has been hit in the knee, paintwork there should show more damage.

Just my 2 cents worth

I can only judge from the photos but when it is something you can still fix i feel i have to point it out.  But of course, you have to go by the real thing. Photos are great but they can be totally misleading where colour is concerned.

He as tried for it but there was no evidence to convict him of the crime and his killing was probably an act of revenge.  He was a devout Nazi but a fantastic commander.  That's the story as i know it and it is very interesting.
